Welcome to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
LIV Golf is done. The Saudi-backed circuit filed for Chapter Eleven bankruptcy protection Tuesday in federal court in New Jersey, and the creditor list tells the whole story — Jon Rahm is owed seven point five million dollars, Bryson DeChambeau five point seven million. The players chased the money, and now the money's gone.
Shifting to the gridiron, the New England Patriots will be shorthanded Wednesday night when they open the season against Seattle in a Super Bowl sixty rematch. Running back TreVeyon Henderson has been ruled out with an ankle injury he's been nursing since late August, and center Ben Brown is also out. Not exactly the start the Patriots were looking for.
And in Philadelphia, the Phillies made an unexpected move Tuesday, pulling first-base coach Paco Figueroa just hours before first pitch against the Houston Astros. The details around the move are still thin, but with the Phillies locked in a tight National League East race, any disruption to the coaching staff right now is worth keeping an eye on as the stretch run approaches.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
